Day lilies are edible???
Hi Brie!
Yep. Amazing, huh?
We put the petals in salads ... so elegant! All parts of the plant are edible: shoots, buds, petals, and tubers.
We mostly eat the flowers, which have a buttery texture. I hardly ever cook them, since they are so easy and pretty raw, but you can fry them or add them to soups and stirfries.
Here's a good article on the delights of eating daylilies, "Having your Flowers and Eating Them Too" : http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/04/09/HOG7UC42QO1.DTL
yum to the daylilies!!...though i've read they can cause stomach upset in some.
awesome dino kale shot--very mandala!
